Propagation of mesons in asymmetric nuclear matter in a density-dependent coupling model

We study the propagation of the light mesons σ,ω,ρ, and a₀(980) in dense hadronic matter in an extended derivative scalar coupling model. Within the scheme proposed it is possible to unambiguously define effective density-dependent couplings at the Lagrangian level. We first apply the model to study asymmetric nuclear matter with fixed isospin asymmetry, and then we pay particular attention to hypermatter in β-equilibrium. The equation of state and the potential contribution to the symmetry coefficient arising from the mean-field approximation are investigated.

Molecular dynamics simulation of phase transition in AgNO3

Structural phase transition in AgNO₃ at high temperature is simulated by molecular dynamics. The simulations are based on the potentials calculated from the Gordon-Kim modified electron-gas formalism extended to molecular ionic crystals. AgNO₃ transforms into rhombohedral structure at high temperature and the phase transition is associated with the rotations of the NO₃ ions and displacements of the NO₃ and Ag ions.     

Band structure calculations on the layered compounds FeGa2S4 and NiGa2S4

For the compounds FeGa₂S₄ and NiGa₂S₄ band structure calculations have been performed by the ab initio plane wave pseudo-potential method. The valence charge density distribution points to an ionic type of chemical bonding between the transition metal atoms and the ligand atoms. Two models for the pseudo-potentials are used to calculate the band structures: (a) only s and p electrons and (b) also the d-shells of the transition metal atoms are included in the pseudo-potentials. The differences between these two cases of band structures are discussed. Energy gap formation peculiarities are analysed for both crystals. Zak's elementary energy band concept is demonstrated for the energy spectra of the considered crystals.     

Effect of the three-body force on triton asymptotic normalization constants by the hyperspherical harmonics expansion method

We investigate the change in the calculated value of asymptotic normalization constant (ANC) by the hyperspherical harmonics expansion method with the inclusion of three nucleon force (3BF) in addition to two nucleon force. We see that ANC does not change very much with the inclusion of 3BF indicating that the 3BF does not alter the asymptotic behaviours of HHE wavefunction significantly.

Electronic structure of graphene/Y2C heterostructure and related doping effect

Until now, many attempts have been made to dope graphene in various ways, but each method turned out to have pros and cons. In this study, to overcome the limitations of doping methods, yttrium hypocarbide (Y₂C) is investigated as one prospective material to dope graphene, using density functional theory calculations. In monolayer Y₂C, the anionic electrons localized away from Y atomic layers are confirmed to contribute to occupied states near the Fermi level. Next, we investigate the electronic structure of graphene in heterojunction with Y₂C. Anionic electrons of Y₂C occupy the empty states of graphene in graphene/Y₂C heterostructure, which makes the Dirac cone of graphene located at about 1.7 eV below the Fermi level. Such charge transfer of anionic electrons to graphene and the flatness of electric cloud of anionic electrons leads to evenly n-doped graphene in graphene/Y₂C heterostructure. This suggests that Y₂C is a good candidate to dope graphene.

Novel photosensitive properties of gadolinium–lead germanate glasses

Glasses of the system xGd₂O₃ · (100 ? x)[7GeO₂ · 3PbO] with 0 ≤ x ≤ 40 mol% were prepared using the melt quenching method. Lead germanate glasses are particularly interesting in the context of the germanate anomaly. In this paper, we investigate changes in the coordination number of germanium in gadolinium–lead germanate glasses using molar volume analysis, density measurements, FTIR and UV–VIS spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT). Despite some inconsistencies, the coordination change model remains the currently accepted model for the anomalous behaviour of lead germanate glasses. Based on these experimental results, we propose the following mechanism for the germanate anomaly. (i) The low thermodynamic stability of the [GeO₆] structural unit and the occupation of interstices of larger dimensions (the six-coordinated interstices of the [PbO₆] structural units) in the lead germanate network yield [GeO₅] structural units with higher thermodynamic stability and larger ionic radii. (ii) Not linked to the terminal oxygens of the [GeO₅] structural units and with the formation of smaller network cavities of the lead germanate glass, links are required with [GeO₄] tetrahedra for stabilization, generating the formation of three-membered rings of [GeO₄] tetrahedral structural units.     

Nuclear spin–spin constants,rotational g factor and susceptibility of sulphur hexafluoride

Following our previous study on spin–rotation and shielding constants of the SF₆ molecule, the rotational g factor and the magnetic susceptibility are calculated here, using ab initio methods to evaluate the electronic contribution to the nuclear hyperfine constants, and compared with experimental results. It is shown, for the first time, that the electronic component of the rotational g factor is proportional to a constant, which is given by a sum over electronic states. We also evaluate for the SF₆ molecule the indirect, or electron-coupled spin–spin interaction, theoretically described by Ramsey, and show that it gives non-negligible corrections to direct coupling constants d ₁ and d ₂. The contributions of the terms included in this interaction (DSO, PSO, SD and FC) are also analysed.     

Assessment of dispersion corrections in DFT calculations on large biological systems

The performance of empirical dispersion corrections in DFT calculations has been assessed for several large, genuine biological systems that include MbAB, H64L(AB), and V68N(AB) (AB?=?CO, O₂), where Mb stands for a wild-type myoglobin, H64L is the (histidine64?→?leucine) mutated myoglobin, and V68N is the (valine68?→?asparagine) mutated myoglobin. The effects of the local protein environment are accounted for by including the five nearest surrounding residues in the calculated systems and they are examined by comparing the binding energies of AB to the myoglobin and to the porphyrin (Por) without residues. Three versions of Grimme's dispersion correction methods, labeled as DFT-D1, DFT-D2, and DFT-D3, were all tested. In the first version (-D1), the dispersion correction (E_disp) is calculated only for noncovalent interactions between molecular fragments and E_disp within a covalent molecule is not calculated. For the DFT functionals, for which the calculated Por–AB binding energies are already too large, only further overestimation occurs when a dispersion correction is made. The geometry optimizations show that the DFT-D2 and DFT-D3 approaches give too short distances between the residues and the heme moiety in the myoglobins and their calculated relative binding energies ΔE_bind(myoglobin-AB/Por–AB) are in poor agreement with experiment in most cases. DFT-D1 performs very well, ensuring structural and energetic features in close agreement with experiment.
